“Usher killed that shit….He murder the #GRAMMYS stage. He did the purple one/Prince proud,” said one user.

John Legend added: “Just wanna say Usher gave a GOAT level performance tonight in tribute to Prince. He is incredibly gifted and works as hard as anyone in this business. I’ve been watching his meticulous preparation since @KanyeWeat and I opened for him in 04. Inspiring to watch him do his thing.”

Usher has slayed the Janet MTV ICON honor, that MJ special, and now this Prince tribute. He gets nothing but my respect. pic.twitter.com/YqlB8SS6Ge
